Chapter 735: with translation of chapter title
735. Chapter 733 We want revenge
Outer sect disciples were preparing to sleep when they were suddenly startled, jumping up one after another to find the source of the sound.
The Nascent Soul Stage elder of the core area sensed something amiss and immediately led disciples to the outskirts to investigate.
Lu Yuan and Su Liyan also sensed the abnormality, hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed out of their quarters.
Upon leaving their quarters, they could already see flames rising and thick smoke rolling in the outer sect area.
Several demonic cultivators took advantage of the chaos to go on a killing spree, running rampant within the sect.
In the chaos, the disciples fell into a passive state, many suffering severe injuries.
Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed, he made a decisive decision: "Senior Sister Su, go assist the elder of the core area and the other disciples; I will handle these demonic cultivators."
Su Liyan nodded, then turned into a flash of icy light and swiftly vanished from sight.
Lu Yuan's aura was mighty, tightly gripping the Lei Huo Sword in his hand.
He stood guard at the outer gate, lunging at a demonic cultivator like lightning; his sword technique was fierce and swift, aiming for the enemy's vital point.
After years of cultivation and combat experience, Lu Yuan had already brought his swordsmanship to its peak.
The Lei Huo Sword in his hand turned into a red flash of lightning, tracing a beautiful yet deadly arc in the night.
The black-clad demonic cultivator did not expect this outer sect disciple to be so valiant, staring in shock at the approaching Lei Huo Sword.
He hastily dodged, but the sharp sword qi grazed his shoulder, drawing blood as he let out a miserable cry.
Lu Yuan did not cease his attack; his agile figure continued to engage the other demonic cultivators.
His swordsmanship was as swift as a spark, delivering merciless attacks upon the enemy.
Under Lu Yuan's leadership, the other outer sect disciples also joined the battle.
Although their cultivation was not high, they worked together in unity, cooperating seamlessly to fend off the demonic cultivators' fierce assault.
Zi Xi'er and Hong Lietian, upon hearing the disturbance, immediately left their quarters and began gathering information to uncover the origins of this surprise attack.
They swiftly passed through the devastated outer sect area, seeing many injured disciples and scattered stones, and a surge of anger welled up in their hearts.
Hong Lietian clenched his fists, his face turning ashen as he said, "These demonic cultivators are utterly audacious!"
"How dare they act so arrogantly within the Lei Huo Dan Ge!"
"I will never let them succeed!"
Zi Xi'er lightly patted Hong Lietian's shoulder, soothing him gently: "We will surely uncover their identities and take revenge for the sect."
"Rest assured."
They hurried toward the interior of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, where they encountered a Nascent Soul Stage elder in the hallway.
The elder's face grew solemn as he told Zi Xi'er and Hong Lietian, "This examination is actually aimed at ferreting out hidden demonic cultivators."
"Although we have brought the situation under control and restored order to the sect, the entire Lei Huo Dan Ge remains shrouded in unease."
"We must quickly stabilize everyone's minds to prevent internal strife."
Hong Lietian nodded, knowing that what the sect needed most now was stability and unity.
"Elder, please believe that we will fully support the sect's decisions and exert our utmost effort to accomplish the task."
Zi Xi'er gave a slight smile, her expression firm as she said, "Yes, we will absolutely not stand by idly."
"Anyone who harms the Lei Huo Dan Ge and the sect's interests will not escape the law!"
The elder looked at their determined and resolute gazes, his heart slightly eased.
He knew that Zi Xi'er and Hong Lietian were reliable forces, and in this critical moment they would become the mainstay of the Lei Huo Dan Ge.
Zi Xi'er and Hong Lietian hurried to the core area, where they found Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.
Both were somewhat fatigued, yet their gazes remained steadfast.
"Lu Yuan, Senior Sister Su, are you all right?"
Hong Lietian asked anxiously.
Lu Yuan waved his hand, smiling: "It's fine, we're just a bit tired."
"We just repelled those demonic cultivators and are now recovering our energy."
Su Liyan gently shook her head, apologetically saying, "Sorry, we failed to stop them from breaking in."
Hong Lietian shook his head, indicating understanding: "This is a sudden incident; no one could have foreseen it."
"What matters is what we should do now."
Zi Xi'er glanced at the surrounding sect disciples, a feeling of pride welling up inside her.
"First, we must stabilize everyone's minds, conveying confidence and strength."
"Let them know we will not fear the demonic cultivators' attacks."
Lu Yuan stood in the core area of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, his gaze firm as he surveyed the many sect disciples around him.
He could sense their fear and unease, yet he also knew that as the Sect Master of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, he could not waver.
He gave a slight smile, his voice firm as it carried across the area: "Brothers and sisters, I know you feel shocked and indignant about last night's surprise attack."
"We have lost many fellow disciples; they made great sacrifices for the sect."
"But it is precisely because of their contributions that we are able to stand here."
"We cannot let their sacrifices be in vain."
Accompanying Lu Yuan's words, the disciples present gradually calmed down and began to nod in agreement.
Lu Yuan continued: "Now is the time to demonstrate the unity and strength of our Lei Huo Dan Ge disciples!"
"As long as we work together, nothing can defeat us!"
A heroic spirit instantly enveloped the entire Lei Huo Dan Ge.
However, despite Lu Yuan's utmost efforts to steady everyone's minds, some disciples still began to waver.
They began to doubt the safety of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, and some even started contemplating retirement from the martial world.
The elders who noticed these circumstances urgently discussed countermeasures.
They decided to continue strengthening identity verification work to ensure the sect's safety.
However, this decision caused dissatisfaction and disappointment among some disciples.
At the same time, at the internal meeting of the Blood Moon Sect, Xueying revealed his true appearance and shouted for other demon cultivators to prepare to attack the periphery of the Lei Huo Dan Ge to distract them.
Elder Sun stood beside Xueying, his eyes filled with determination and anger.
"This dispute must be completely resolved!"
Elder Sun's voice sounded heavy: "Last night we lost our fellow sect members; they were our brothers and sisters."
"I swear to avenge them!"
The demon cultivators of the Blood Moon Sect listened attentively to Elder Sun's words, and a strong fighting spirit rose in their hearts.
Lu Yuan stood on the periphery of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, his eyes revealing firm determination.
Before him, waves of Blood Moon Sect demon cultivators surged toward the Lei Huo Dan Ge like a tide, and the entire sect entered an emergency combat state.
The demon cultivators gathered outside the dan ge and launched an attack.
They brandished their weapons and launched an attack toward the Lei Huo Dan Ge disciples.
The powerful and ferocious energy fluctuation rapidly spread, causing a chill.
Lu Yuan tightly gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, gazing at the enemy ahead. (End of chapter)
